I got this camera solely to use as a player to use with a USB capture adapter to digitize old Video 8 videos from the 1990's. It worked fine for that, but it also still does a decent job with analog video recording. It won't be replacing a current-vintage HD digital video camcorder, but it's one of the better choices from 1999-2000.

I received this item today and was excited to finally have
a way to view old 8mm and hi8 tapes. Unfortunately, the hi8 tapes don't play on this model and the description of this camcorder was very misleading, (was noted to have a large viewing screen, so there would be no need to be connect to a monitor...but there is no screen)! It also does not turn off,so the battery needs to be removed.The wrong wire was included so it could not be connected to a tv monitor - luckily, I had the right one. It was described to be the perfect model for transferring your 8mm and Hi8 tapes, but I cannot figure out how, since there is no way to connect it to my computer or a dvd burner! I was looking for a replacement for a broken Sony camcorder, and feel very disappointed in this purchase since I still cannot transfer my tapes.
I am returning it as it doesn't meet my expectations.Read full review

Sony Hi8 tapes are not the same as standard 8mm. The Sony camcorders which use Hi8 are clearly marked as such. This model does not bear the special Hi8 markings. The reviewer who claims to have bought/repaired/sold 50+ of these must not be referring to this particular model. The tapes in the photo are not Hi8 and the manual indicating the model number clearly is not a Hi8 model manual.
